our baby girl.

"Making the decision to have a child -- it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body." -- Elizabeth Stone ~Sloane Marie Martin was born on August 14th, 2012, at 11:10am. she weighed 7 pounds 10 ounces and was 21.5 inches long. her beautiful face characterized by perfectly pout lips, chubby cheeks and rosy skin. the overwhelming emotions we felt go without saying-obviously so beyond anything you can prepare for. gabe and i- well, our hearts are irreversibly intertwined. parenthood feels so new but at the same time feels as if, hey-we've got this. we make mistakes-we laugh through everything-we are obsessed with her shitting habits. our good friends back east had a baby girl recently. my advice to them as they went into labor was to not cry until she was born, because then they will be crying for the rest of their lives. as I embark on this blog journey or path or road-Sloane is now almost four months old. i won't share everything, i won't share what gabe and i feel is private-but i'll share a little. at the very least, she'll have a record of how crazy her mom is,no?
